He's a Belgian full back. Used to play for us.

Fullback we sold to Fulham when we got relegated. Played about 200 Premier League games. Good player signed for about £14m so decent signing.

Well he’s remained a premier player so fair play to him and Fulham, but at the time I’d have driven him to London myself. Good start at Man City but poor from then on I thought. But we did have a very high bar at the time.

Yes I know I was just astounded that he was down as a good signing in some eyes, we all se the game different I guess.

As I say, he's made nigh on 200 Premier League games. You don't do that if you're a poor player.

 

You don't regularly get that sort of a bargain for a capable mid-table level fullback.
